i used to believe that your Adam's apple would get mad at you and sprout spikes. that's how u get a sore throat

When I was little, I believed that when my body hurt (from growing pains) I was getting cancer.
When I was younger I asked my parents could I play with my neighbours but they said no they have chicken pox. My response was, mm sounds yummy can I have some? Yep I thought it was food.

I used to believe that the dentist had to drill through your cheek to get to your teeth. I screamed and cried in his chair and was eventually sent to a children's dentist where they used laughing gas.
When I was young, I thought that if you get stung by a bee, you get the Chicken Pox. To this day, that thought pops into my head whenever I see bees. Lol! I have no idea where the idea came from, but I believed it :)
When I was little I thought if you were sick the only way to get better was to give it to someone else.

I thought pretending I was sick to stay home from school was called cookie not hookie.

when i was little i had a splinter in my foot and i had to go to the hospital to get it removed and the doctor told me he had to rub bug juice on it to make it better. IT WAS IODINE
I used to believe that little men in a thermometer pushed the mercury up when the heat got too intense, they stopped moving up when they got back to the same temperature as in the medicine cabinet. (where we keep medical supplys)

I used to think that a staph infection was called a staff infection, therefore only teachers could get it.

I used to believe that a yeast infection was something you could get from eating "bad" bread.

When I was a kid, I use to think that if I got a cut and ate the blood that would come out it would just go back into my system and I would have the same amount of blood.

When I was small, someone with a cold said they had a frog in their throat. Up until I was about 12, I thought that when you got a cold little frogs lived on your tonsils :3.
When I was about 9 I was laying on my stomach as my mother was shaking down the thermometer, when she accidentally smashed it on my dresser, sending glass and mercury flying onto the bed. She got me very nervous because it came into contact with my exposed skin and said it can "seep through and cause mercury poisoning," For the next few years, I tried to justify my grades in school by saying that I had "mercury poisoning" and it slowed me down.

Like many children, I had my tonsils removed when I was young, but I also had my Pharyngeal tonsil (also known as "adenoids") taken out. Having no idea what tonsils or adenoids look like, I somehow got the idea that tonsils look like Corn Pops cereal, and adenoids look like dried rosemary leaves (which my mother had on a spice rack)!

One time when I was young I lost my voice and my older brother told me that I had to look for it so I looked all over the house for it but I couldnt find it.
When I woke up the next morning my voice was back, I had thought that while I was sleeping my voice had found me and decided to come back to me.
When I was little I was rather prone to injuring myself. When my grandfather would clean out cuts and scrapes with peroxide he assured me that the sting meant it was working. Later, my mother used something else which didn't sting, and I was convinced it wasn't effective and I would get an infection.
I used to believe when you had chicken pox, you turned into a chicken
Shirley
I used to believe that if you slept with a bandaid on you would die, since obviously to leave one on for more than a few hours meant you were hurt REALLY bad. I remember forgetting to take one off one night and being shocked that morning when I woke up alive.
